Tears roll down Rose's face as she holds the lifeless body of Jack.

The Doctor walked up behind her, "Rose, leave him alone…"

Rose looked up at the Doctor, tears welled up in her eyes, "But he's dead!"

The Doctor looked sternly at Rose, "No really – just leave him alone…"

Rose had no idea what was about to happen. Suddenly, Jack's eyes open and he gasped his first breath. Rose lunged back with shock.

Jack sat up, "Never does one get used to that…" he says.

He turned his head and stared at Rose. She sat staring with a look of disbelief. One minute he was dead, the next alive.

'How' she wondered.

"This must be quite a shock to you, but if you remember that on Satellite 5, I was killed and then brought back…" Jack says.

Rose nodded. She remembered bringing back everyone who had died by the Daleks, but that was all.

"Well, not only did it give me life but it made me much more. I can not die a permanent death..." he says, as he moved closer to Rose whom began to calm down.

She realized, after all that she has seen, immortality was far from strange. Jack looked up at the Doctor, looking down at him, "I see you haven't changed much…"

The Doctor smiled, "Neither have you…"

Rose helped Jack stand to his feet and reached his hand to help Rose to hers.

Rose looked at the Doctor and began to smile, "Hello…"

The Doctor grinned back, "Hello…"

The Doctor let out a cry of joy. Rose and the Doctor quickly embrace.

"Ohhhh, You're brilliant you are! Absolutely brilliant!!" the Doctor says joyfully.

"You aren't bad yourself…" Rose replied.

"How did you find us?" asked Donna.

"And what happened to you?" asked Mickey.

"Well, I was placed in a holding area – well, it was more then a holding area, it was a laboratory, but it held more then laboratory equipment. It also had piles of tarps all stacked up on top of one another, no clue what they use them for but I managed to get free from my captors by throwing tarps over them. It seemed a simple way to get past them. I brought along another tarp, just in case I needed to use one again…"

"Well, it certainly came in handy…" Jack says.

"Oh yes. Now let's get out of here before more spider Daleks show up. Come on…" the Doctor says.

Just as they come out of the cell, a Spider Dalek appeared, standing in between two regular Daleks on each side. The spider Dalek spoke, "Halt!! Do not move or you will be exterminated!!"

Jack and Rose are about to fire their guns at the Daleks until the Spider Dalek produced a pair of long metallic tentacles similar to what was around Donna's neck earlier and grabbed the weapons out of their hands with them. It then took the guns and snapped them into pieces and then dropped the pieces on the floor. It then aimed its weapon at the leftover piece and disintegrated them.

Jack looked up at the spider Dalek, "What are we going to do now Doctor?"

"It's a Spider Dalek, I'd advise you to raise your hands. Well that didn't last long…" the Doctor replied, as they all raise their hands. The Doctor looked down on the sides of the regular Daleks and the spider Dalek and noticed some Dalek writing running down the side of them.

The Doctor spoke, "Hold on, you three Daleks have names. How can you have names? Are you a part of a new Cult of Skaro?"

The spider Dalek looked at the Doctor and spoke, "No, we are not. We are of our creator's personal guards. All of his personal guards have names on them…"

"So what, you're just some of his personal foot soldiers are you?" the Doctor asked.

"We are of his Chosen Ones, the most powerful Dalek soldiers in the entire Dalek race, chosen by him. We are his elite fighting force. I am Dalek Tay…" the spider Dalek replied.

Then the regular Dalek on the right side, "Dalek Soe…"

Then the regular Dalek on the left side, "Dalek Hoth…"

Jack kept staring at the spider Dalek, "How did the spider Daleks survive? I thought they were all destroyed in the Time War…"

Dalek Soe spoke, "The spider Dalek was specifically designed for use in the Time War…"

Then Dalek Hoth spoke, "They are an upgraded version of our most powerful Dalek soldiers. They are genetically superior to regular Dalek soldiers, with greater weapons and greater mobility. Their design was conceived by our creator…"

"You're creator, what creator?" Jack asked.

The Doctor looked over at Jack, "Don't – just don't…"

Dalek Tay suddenly stared at Donna and then spoke, "The human female on the left is peculiar. Something was on her back. There is something different about her…"

The other Daleks stared over at her for a moment, quickly noticing something different about her and then Dalek Soe talked to Dalek Hoth, "Dalek Hoth, take the other prisoners to sector 16. The human female known as Donna will come with me…"

"I obey…" says Dalek Hoth.

"Hold on, how do you know my name?" Donna cried out.

Dalek Hoth moved behind the other prisoners while the spider Dalek, Dalek Tay, used its tentacles and grabbed onto Donna, dragging her off.

"Hey wait, where are you taking me?" Donna yelled.

"No, don't!" Martha yelled.

The Doctor cringed with worry, "Donna! No! Where are you taking her? Donna!!"

"Doctor!!" says Donna.

Suddenly, Dalek Soe reacted to something then turned his top around and looked at Dalek Tay, "Wait! I have just been given orders to take the Doctor with me. Our creator wants to see him. Bring the Doctor here…"

"I obey…" says Dalek Tay as he grabbed hold of the Doctor with one of his tentacles and dragged him forward.

"Doctor, no!!" Rose cried.

The Doctor looked back at Rose, "It's alright Rose, I'll be fine…"

The Doctor and Donna are carried off, while the others are sent to sector 16.

In a place known as the Vault, a being in a type of transport chair sat in the darkness, taping his finger on the console on his chair before him, a blue light shown from his forehead through the darkness but he soon came into the light. It is Davros.

"As prophesied by Dalek Caan, the Doctor has come…"

A Dalek, named Dalek Rath, stood beside Davros and spoke, "The Dalek Caan unit is insane…"

"Never the less, without him none of this would have happened and he always speaks the truth…"

Davros and Dalek Rath turned around. Here, they behold the shattered body of a Dalek with its hideous mutation still alive and moving.

"He is coming, I can hear his hearts beat - the man who is fire, the man who is ice, the man who is rage and death and fear and destruction. The man who sits at the center of space and time and matter, the man who can see the whole universe turn, the man who can see the whole of creation and time resonate. He brings stardust in his wake and chaos in his hands. Be forewarned oh creator of us all - The Doctor is coming!" Dalek Caan began to laugh hysterically.

As the Doctor and Donna are being pushed down the corridor by Dalek Tay, a door opens next to them and a familiar face, at least to the Doctor, appears.

"Get down!" The man yells. The Daleks react by turning their tops and looking at the source of the voice, "It's another Time Lord! Exterminate! Exterminate!!"

The man grins, "Oh yeah, exterminate this!"

The man aims a gun at the Daleks and fires. The shot freezes in place the three Daleks in an instant, but not with ice.

In the Vault, Davros watches the action on a view screen.

"I wonder. Who is that?" Davros asks.

"It is another Time Lord. He must be exterminated." Dalek Rath says.

"But he is not just another Time Lord, is he Dalek Caan?" Davros asks.

"He is a progeny of the Doctor…" Dalek Caan gives a giggling laugh.

"A son is he? How interesting…" Davros replies.

The Doctor gets up and helps Donna to her feet. The Doctor looks at the man to saved them. The man looked at the Doctor and smiled.

"Jespin! Blimey, where did you come from?" the Doctor asks.

Donna looks at the man, "Hold on, do you know this man?"

"Yes I do. Me and Martha ran into him when we fought against an alien menace. We stopped it with his help..." the Doctor looked at Donna, "…and not only that, he is my son…"
Donna opens her mouth in surprise, "You are kidding me. How is it that he is your son? You never said…"

"And you never ask…"

Jespin speaks up, "Anyway, we've got bigger things to worry about…"

"But hold on, what did you do to these Daleks?" Donna asks.

"Well, I time froze them now didn't I? They won't be moving around for another 30 minutes…" Jespin replies.

The Doctor looked at the Daleks and then at Jespin, "Blimey, How did you get a time freeze gun?"

"No time to explain. We need to get back to your friends…"

The Doctor grins, "Well then let's not waste anymore time. Allons sey!"

The three begin to pick up the pace, running down a corridor towards sector 16. But suddenly, in the corridor, a wall came down closing off the section they just ran through, causing them to quickly run another way down another corridor.

In the Vault, Davros observes the Doctor and his companions. He immediately focuses on Jespin, "I say, who is that?"

"It is another Time Lord…" Dalek Rath replies.

"Indeed, but he is not just another Time Lord it seems. Is that so Dalek Caan?"

Dalek Caan gives a madman giggle, "He is special. He is the progeny of the killer…"

"So, my greatest enemy has a son. How interesting…" Davros replies.

In sector 16, Jack, Rose, Martha and Mickey are quickly pushed into a holding area.

Dalek Hoth speaks, "You will stay here until our creator finds a use for you…"

"Who is this creator you keep talking about?" Jack asks.

Dalek Hoth spun his top and looked back at Jack, "He created us from living cells from his own body. He brought us back from extinction…"

"Why don't you stay extinct metal head?" Mickey replies.

"Micky, don't antagonize it…" Martha replies.

Dalek Hoth looked at Martha and then back at Jack before he speaks again, "The female is correct…"

"Name!" Jack yells.

"He is our creator, he is Davros…" Dalek Hoth.

"Davros. Where have I heard that name before?" Jack replies.

"Hold on, you know who Davros is?" Rose asks.

"He is our greatest scientist. Under his guidance, we shall fulfill our rightful place in the universe…" Dalek Hoth replies.

"Oh yeah and what would that be?" Jack asks.

Suddenly, a voice rings out from nowhere, "Dalek Hoth. They have learned enough for the moment. You are needed in sector 19. I have a task for you there. Comply…"

"I obey…" Dalek Hoth replies before turning around and going out the door, the door slaming down behind him.

"Now who's that then?" Mickey asks.

"Oh, I am just an observer, be a very ingenious observer…" the voice replies. A view screen appears and they all look up at it as the source of the voice is revealed, it is Davros, "So you are the Doctor's faithful companions. I expected better specimens for the experiment I have in mind. But I suppose you will do…"

Jack looks on, slightly stunned by the sight of Davros, "You need us for an experiment. What experiment?"

"Oh you will soon see sir – or shall I say Captain Jack Harkness…" Davros replies.

"Hold on, how does he know you?" Martha asks.

"Me and Captain Jack go way back. Don't we Jack? It has been a long time since the planet Tesura Panlona, but the memory of that event is burned into my mind when you butchered my last Dalek force…" Davros replies.

"How did you survive? We burned through your entire Dalek base you couldn't have possibly survived…" Jack asks.

"We, who's we?" Rose asks.

"Torchwood. We were accidentally sent to the planet Tesura Panlona. We found a Dalek base there, we found Davros there, we destroyed the base, long story…"

"Oh, but I survived your petty attack Captain Jack. I am quite ingenious…" Davros replies.

"No, I know what you are – you're nothing but a madman…" Jack replies.

Davros gives an evil giggle, "Oh, but I am more then that Captain Jack. If I am one thing, it is that I am very – resourceful. While I was there, I hand chose among my many children exceptionally powerful Dalek soldiers…"

"I gather those are your Chosen Ones correct?" Mickey asks.

"You are correct human. They are my elite fighting force, my greatest gathering of Dalek power ever. I chose them for there exceptional abilities, but they chose there own names. Now you and your friends will sleep..."

"We're not tired…" Mickey replies.

Jack raised his hand, stopping Mickey in mid sentience.

"Oh but you soon will be. You see sector 16 is for my exceptional prisoners – prisoners that need extra special attention. But I will soon need your presence, but until then – good night Captain Jack Harkness…" Davros says, ending with a laugh.

The view screen disappears. Seconds later, a greenish vapor begins to emit from the celling.

Jack yells out, "It's sleeping gas!"

The people in the room begin to cough.

"What are we going to do Jack?" Rose replies.

"I think it's little to late to..."

But that is all Martha can say before she passes out on the floor. Falling soon after is Mickey, the Rose, then Jack. They become unconscious on the floor.

Elsewhere, the Doctor, Jespin and Donna continue to run down corridor after corridor, walls slamming down behind them at every turn.

Jespin yells out, "I think we are being herded to the central core of this complex. Follow me, I know a way out…"
As the Doctor, Jespin and Donna run down yet another corridor, a Dalek turns the corner into the very corridor they were running down. It is Dalek Hoth, "Halt! Do not move!! Halt! Or you will be exterminated!! Halt!!"

Turning a corner, they quickly enter a large room, but they are knocked out cold the moment they enter the room. It was only a mere few minutes until the Doctor opens his eyes and slowly begins to get focused. Getting focused, he realizes he is being dragged by a spider Dalek named Dalek Foss, pulling him by his long metal tentacles. The Doctor doesn't say a word and doesn't try to escape because as always, he wants to see where he is being taken and why. He begins to look around and notices that Jespin was missing and Donna was still unconscious, being carried by another spider Dalek named Dalek Giz.

In front of the two spider Daleks, leading the way is Dalek Hoth. Soon, Dalek Soe appears and stops Dalek Hoth to speak with him, "Davros orders that the prisoners in sector 16 be taken to the experimental chamber. You will send 5 spider Daleks to retrieve them…"

"I obey…" Dalek Hoth replies as he and the two spider Daleks continue down the corridor.

After a few minutes, the three Daleks come to two large silver doors. The doors open. They pull the Doctor into the room first, followed closely by Donna, who suddenly wakes up and starts to struggle.

Dalek Giz speaks, "The female is awake. Resistance is futile…"

"Let go of me!! Let me go!!" Donna yells.

The Doctor continues not to speak or put up a fight. Inside, the room is somewhat dark in areas, but he can clearly see that it is the control center of a Dalek ship. Dalek Foss soon stops and lets go of the Doctor before moving off. Dalek Giz soon lets go of Donna, placing her next to the Doctor, who she thinks is still unconscious. Her thoughts are quickly changed when the Doctor looks up at her.

"Doctor, I thought you were unconscious. Why didn't you try to escape?" Donna asks.

"I had to find out where we were being taken. Really Donna, I should teach you strategy sometime…"

Suddenly, a voice booms forth from nowhere as the Doctor sits up next to Donna looking over him.

"Welcome Doctor. You are just in time to see my ultimate experiment come to effect…"

"I know that voice, but it can't be…" the Doctor replies.

"Oh but it is, Doctor and soon you will see. I have been watching you and your faithful companions ever since you came aboard the Crucible…"

"The Crucible?" Donna asks.

"The Dalek Crucible, similar to the Time Lord Crucible that was destroyed in the Time War…" the Doctor replies.

"And what a victory that was. My Dalek forces destroyed the Time Lord Crucible, then stripped it bare, using the parts in our own crucible. No one survived that ambush as I was there to see it with my own eyes. My Daleks forces were ruthless. They left no one alive. A supreme testimony don't you think, to my remarkable creations. Now I will leave you in the hands of Supreme Dalek Joss. He will bring you to me. You will see me soon…"

The voice stops. Suddenly, from out of the shadows comes forth a Dalek, but this Dalek is unlike any other the Doctor has seen so far, as its casing was red in color.

Supreme Dalek Joss speaks, "I am Supreme Dalek Joss, the leader of the Chosen Ones. You will be taken to the Vault…"

"And if I refuse?" the Doctor asks. Donna tugs on his sleeve.

"Then you will loose everything. Observe…"

Supreme Dalek Joss turns his head around and looks at a far wall. The wall lights up and there, chained to the wall is Jespin, attached to a type of machine. Jespin looks up and realizes that the Doctor and Donna are there. He calls out, "Father! Don't listen to them. They are just trying to scare you. Don't worry about me, just get out of here!"

"Silence!!" Supreme Dalek Joss replies as bolts of electricity slowly run through Jespin's body, causing him to cry out in pain.

The Doctor yells out, "Stop it!! Stop it right now!!"

The torment stops and Jespin stops crying out.

The Doctor yells out, helpless, "What is that thing he is connected to? Tell me!"

Dalek Hoth, who was at a control panels turns his tops, looks at the Doctor and speaks, "It is a modified mind probe machine. It has been specially designed for superior interrogation…"

"You mean a torture device!" Donna yells.

"The female is correct…" Supreme Dalek Joss replies.

"Please let him go. Let me take his place, you can do anything to me, just let him go!!" the Doctor yells.

"You are in no position to negotiate, you are our prisoner. Now you will see Doctor, the supreme power of Dalek design – starting with your ship…" Dalek Hoth says as he turns around and presses a button on a control panel. A view screen appears, showing a picture of the TARDIS.

"Initiate temporal disintegration in 20 rells…" Supreme Dalek Joss says.

"I obey…" Dalek Hoth replies.

The Doctor looks at the screen and then back at the Daleks, soon realizing what the Daleks are going to do, "No – No they can't…"

A cloak of energy suddenly engulfs the TARDIS as Donna and the Doctor look on.

Donna had seen this only once before and is shocked at what is about to happen, "No, you are kidding me. I've seen that before. They are going to disintegrate the TARDIS. It will become dust…"

"No, you can't do this! Please just stop!!" the Doctor protests.

Dalek Hoth turns his top to look at Supreme Dalek Joss and then looks back, "Temporal disintegration in 12 rells – 11, 10, 9…"

"Please, just stop. The TARDIS is a living thing, your going to kill her!! Stop it now!!" the Doctor yells out in desperation.

"The last child of Gallifrey is powerless…" Dalek Hoth replies.

The Doctor begins to breathe heavily, sensing the TARDIS's pain.

"You are connected to the TARDIS. Now feel it die…" Supreme Dalek Joss says.

The Doctor and Donna watch on, helpless. The Doctor felt it was the end of the TARDIS, the only home he has had since Gallifrey was destroyed and he could do nothing to stop its upcoming destruction.

"Total temporal disintegration in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1…"
